Winglets

[sixpack577]

I remember riding a friend's carburetted 98 R1, I had it to low 170's on the speedometer, and it was slowly climbing.
Impressive for it's day, but quickly and rightfully soon overshadowed by the Hayabusa(even though it wasn't a fair comparison).
The R1 held off pretty much everything else...then the Gsxr1000 came along in 01.
I'll still take a Suzuki or Kawasaki any day, as until late 2000's(and after with restrictions removed), Yamahas(and Hondas) good as they are, only make power high up.
Give me a Gsxr or Ninja with a big midrange hit And enough up top to smoke R1s and cbrs every time.
But, the R1 is an iconic machine that I'm glad is still around.

Didn't buy these $12 generic winglets for the busa, but why not test.

They actually contour extremely well to the fairing, if I didn't have an emblem.

... you hacking bodies and bikes up in your shop there Mr bloody footprints?


But really, for someone that had access to a 3D scanner, that would be a pretty solid starting point for building building their own set

Wrong forum

The Busa's tech is based off of the Gsxr's.
Some of the aftermarket companies that make Gsxr parts also make Busa parts...so their companies are worth looking into.
Especially since there isn't alot of aftermarket Gen3 advertising either, and there wasn't at the time of that original post.
An example of, here's the Gsxr version, and the Busa version is in the works...some people like that.
I later added in another thread how those winglets upset the ride, which proves the idea that they All are just designed for looks...Not performance, and they were removed from the bike for that reason.
This info directly translates to the Busa as well, as no wings need stuck on the most aerodynamic motorcycle mass produced...and if you do, at some point...you're not going to like it.
The Gsxr winglets were ok, until they weren't.
The wind would hit them randomlly, and especially within an 8th mile+ behind tractor trailers.
I could also see their effect cause panic, and a crash to someone inexperienced.
So, you can stick all the fancy farkles you want on a motorcycle, but use caution with winglets.
I comment here with My personal experience.
I will buy a gen3 whenever I run accross one that I feel like risking the money on, so far...I'm not very impressed with them for their cost vs value.
I also use other bikes for comparison to the Busa when it applies, or may be beneficial.
I don't post Harleys, as there is no comparison to sportbikes at all, and they're not my thing.
However, several of the guys here do, and other than the trash talk they get(and deserve, lol)...they aren't told that they are in the wrong forum....
I just skip posts that aren't of intrest to me.

You can keep doing what ever you like if you want to skip posts good for you i belive this forum if for Gen3 talk that is my opinion.

Hell, all the posts on this forum merge together.....

Did we even need a Gen 2 or 3 specific part of the forum....in my opinion no, they are all Hayabusa bikes.......and we'd be far better served to remind ourselves of this fact...

No, in life people have diferent opinions you have your opinion i have mine and i respect that after all were here to talk and read about Hayabusas. we must stay together imagine if i block all the people who do not think the same as i do. Dont get me wrong i dont come here looking for any trouble i just like to read and post different ideas and mods we are a family. If you or any of the ORG members happend to visit to Puerto Rico some day we can easily have some beers its all good and cool brother.

It's ok
I try to stay in the General Bike Related threads, but sometimes info is relateable from other bikes, so I post it, always clarifieing it's a Gsxr part, not a Busa.
I have and do work on alot of these, and they all work about the same, so it can be beneficial, where otherwise it would not be seen.
I have yet to work on a gen3, but other than the electronics, it's still a Busa, and a sportbike.
I have tried to relate any Gen3 QuickShifter issues based on what is on the Gsxr1k, but it has turned out to be the Gen3's QS itself, as the Gsxr's still have no problems.
I have also measured Gsxr parts in Gen3 threads as members searched for alternative parts, and regardless if anything fits both bikes or not, that answers the questions.

We have to remember that Hayabusa.org was VERY close to no longer existing so if we start to dictate too much, it could go in that direction again if people get pushed away from posting....

I, for one don't want that to happen....

To clarify, chopping up bodies OF bikes! Just oil patches left, lol.

You called the exact reason I bought and waited from China. It's much, much easier for me to have a go-by than trying to come up with something from scratch.

To be honest I am a winglet/canard person, have canards on the ZL1 and while tempting to have on the busa due to how well they actually fit and fairly proportionate, it just doesn't work for my bike. But if anyone else is interested to go down that path, thesse would be worth a test fit.
